1 · Explain it in your own words
2 · Recover the wording
Select a source unit, then hide the passage and reconstruct it. This checks textual recall, not understanding.
3 · Explain, then revisit
Without the source in front of you, explain the passage’s main point and one choice you made in reading it. Then reopen the text and check the evidence.
Rate your understanding yourself. These reminders use a simple schedule; they do not certify mastery.

韓非子 · 孤憤第十一功而爵祿今人主不合參驗而行誅，不待見功而爵祿，故法術之士安能蒙死亡而進其說？
韓非子 · 和氏第十三私門之請什伍，設告坐之過，燔詩書而明法令，塞私門之請而遂公家之勞，禁游宦之民而顯耕戰之士。
韓非子 · 顯學第五十夫有功者夫有功者必賞，則爵祿厚而愈勸；遷官襲級，則官職大而愈治。夫爵祿大而官職治，王之道也。
